DVD authoring and creating menu scenes

Post by dalmamusic »

Hi,

I am wondering what other professionals such as you are using for DVD authoring? I would like to be able to make nice DVD menus where I can chose scenes from DVD for the wedding. Is there any other softwares beside Arabesk that you can recomend.

Thank you for your advices.

Leo,

You can create very nice menus and chapters from Arabesk. I'm not sure what your trying to do, or if you are having some sort of issue, but this forum will be of great assisitance. I don't know of any other authoring program that would be as easy to learn as Arabesk. There a number of programs on the market, I just could not tell you from experience or could not recommend them.

Create your individual scenes via PIP STUDIO. Then designate those scenes as chapters with a hidden 'egg'.

Leo,

If you are seeking DVD menus for your Blu-ray projects more menu capabilities are coming in Arabesk 5 we're told. For SD project I would say that Arabesk 4 does truly provide some very creative menu options - but I find many are unaware of the capabilities of the software. That's why I created the Casablanca Foolproof Volume 2 Tutorial DVD. You can order this from your Casablanca dealer, from MacroSystem US or from my online store here:
